Parking firm NCP bolsters comms

Pritchard played a leading role in the high-profile relaunch of Westminster's parking service in his two years as a media officer. He joins NCP as comms manager, reporting to director of comms Tim Cowen.

'Street parking generates plenty of heat,' said Pritchard. 'My brief is to help us be more proactive rather than just reacting to bad stories. There are positive stories to be told about parking enforcement, and they can help dispel myths surrounding it.'

Before Westminster Pritchard was the Financial Mail On Sunday's companies and markets editor.
